| Description of the problem | My 2006 ford f250 hit a pot hold in i-15 near kaysville, southbound on thurs. October 4, 2007. I was traveling at 65 mph in the middle lane when it started shaking violently and all i heard was car tires screeching. I thought i was going to die. I was able to pull the truck to the shoulder and stop. This has not been the first time. This was the eighth time this has happened. Then about ten minutes later, almost to work, it did it again on i-80 westbound almost to 5600 west. I have taken it in to two dealers who one, willey ford in bountiful, said there was some loose bolts. The other dealer ed kenley ford in layton, said there was some broken parts on the front end. It has shook a little but now is worse than ever. I am afraid to drive this vehicle any more as it will either kill me or another driver. I sustained a headache and pulled muscle in my neck and a sore back from yesterdays incident. Ford needs to pull these vehicles and get them repaired or replaced. |
